Strong partner in the coronavirus crisis
In April 2020, our group of companies was probably able to make its most important contribution to date for our customers and the people of Germany:
- In total, we produced and delivered material for an estimated 25 million masks (fabrics and ribbons) during this time.
- In addition, through our existing contacts, we were able to donate several thousand masks to schools, retirement homes and state institutions.
In this difficult situation for all of us, we would like to thank all the people who have kept our country "running".
